In a round today my playing partner took a penalty but I think he might have had a free drop.
He took his tee shot on a par three and the ball ran through the green and came to rest in-bounds but tight up against a fencepost so there was no back swing. On a fence posts a matter of a few feet away and that would have been close to him when taking his stance there was a wasps nest about the size of a tennis ball with a good few wasps buzzing about.
He took a penalty drop away from the fence post and completed the hole. My question is, could he have taken free relief from the wasps nest as it interfered with his stance?
